Thinking about getting one of these and running it through my AUX port on my stereo as my radio is useless. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAB-12v-Car-Digital-Radio-Adaptor-iPod-Connection-/170670709271?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item27bcc45a17

Anyone else running one?

I had something very similar(Pure Highway) and it worked quite well...it connected to the in car headunit via a spare frequency on FM...just looked so bloody untidy as you have the dab unit attached to the windscreen,then a stick on aerial then a power wire to the cig lighter socket...just wish there were more combined dab/fm units on the market :angry:

i used to have a sony dab unit, came with a seperate aeriel. Wasnt upto much to be fair though, DAB seems much more temperamental to movement that standard fm/am radio.

I wouldnt buy it again as it just kept on dropping signal.

My Pure Highway thing is pretty good, but it does need to be powered by the cig lighter. I had a Panasonic DAB head unit in my last RX-7 too, that was pretty good - you do lose coverage sometimes, but usually in big dips or the middle of nowhere, it's not a problem in 98% of places I go.
